jwoolley you post the proof and most of the posters will go missing if true

if not it seems your just lying?

[football] 19/1/2015 08:53

where's your proof "same IP address" or do you work for adfvn and can see IP addresses?

please show all the multiple id's with the same IP address

if you can see them not that hard to copy & paste here is it or are you lying about seeing the IP address??

Amt 40p is with out any growth potential. Blinkx well oversold at these prices.

[football] 19/1/2015 08:27

Blinkx - 2014 onwards - BLNX
JonC - 12 Jan 2015 - 16:07:02 - 337 of 383
Profit warning in the morning imo.

Digi likes to thank himself...He sends out a link to AdKarma Quantcast figures then shortly after, he just happens to sends out a long email on the same subject.... which he probably started writing before sending out the previous post... (given it probably took more than 10mins to write)...

Then, as always, using his multiple ids, tries to votes up his own posts...

They don't appear in top posts... lol
misspelling a poster's name, even though he's posted to the same person before...

Desperation never changes with digi and the gang with their multiple ids...
lol

The recent Quantcast numbers for Burstmedia seem to be troubling some people on some of the forums.

Is he selling? Oh Lordy!!!!

Barkpooooooooooooo

"The 4mil. was something I discussed at full length with a very reliable friend - it has not happened..it will happen! I am sorry it didn't happen when I was told..
but there are games being played here.

When the gloves are off, the real fighting will start."


'discussed with a friend'!!!!!!!!

yes its good to be back
and more lies on the way no doubt!

[digitalis] 19/1/2015 07:54

Mmm is it not time Rg updated the market!....

[zapa] 19/1/2015 07:51

Better if you put some effort in getting his name correct.

[alamaison5] 19/1/2015 07:48

BLNX: Looking set for a nice rise. A close above 26.50p should take us to 30p.

[digitalis] 19/1/2015 07:43

thankyou tom53 for the effort......

[amt] 19/1/2015 07:25

Well lets hope so. The only thing we know that it seems impossible to forecast even a month ahead where I mentioned before that when Blinkx attempted a forecast for 2 months ahead they were out by a huge margin and smashed there own forecasts.
Perhaps the acquisition of Adkarma was a sign of good recent numbers since if things had got worse I doubt they would have dared making an acquisition.
Anyway for a company bringing in 100m of GP annualised the current share price seems a little mean. If Adkarma cost 15 m and Blinkx total sales are 200m then on same basis Blinkx would be worth 150m plus cash. So that's about 40 p.

AdKarma's New Private Marketplaceby Grant Notvedt1/12/15Since its inception in 2010, AdKarma has consistently adapted to ever-changing market conditions and effectively anticipated trends in the digital advertising industry. Because of this, AdKarma continues to position itself and its publisher partners for long-term success. What started solely as a display supply side platform has evolved to include monetization of desktop video as well as mobile video, and over the course of the last five years AdKarma has grown into one of the strongest and most diverse SSPs in the United States. The next natural step for AdKarma was to enter into the fast-growing programmatic segment of digital advertising. Traditional monetization of publisher inventory involved our ad operations team individually reaching out to buy-side partners and lining up demand through tag-based buys. With the help of marketplace technology from our video ad serving partner Adap.TV, AdKarma now offers inventory to demand partners programmatically through the AdKarma Private Marketplace. To date, AdKarma has accumulated roughly 300 publisher partners, accounting for about 5 billion monthly video ad opportunities in both the desktop and mobile space. The marketplace inventory is exclusively AdKarma's, premium in nature, and buyers have the benefit of being able to input specific ad metrics and adjust pricing easily without any assistance from the AdKarma team. All in all, it is a much more efficient overall targeting method and a more effective way to monetize. We launched the AdKarma Private Marketplace in July of 2014 and, as a result of the team's hard work, it has experienced considerable growth in both supply and demand sides over the course of the last six months. In addition, AdKarma opened a new office in New York City to focus on utilizing AdKarma Private Marketplace inventory to generate direct buys and ad campaigns from advertising agencies. AdKarma proudly represents a significant quantity of high quality domains from premium publishers, and the success of the AdKarma Private Marketplace, coupled with the continued growth of our direct sales team in NYC will complement the overall success of AdKarma in 2015.

A couple of weeks ago I checked the Grab media results on quantcast, they were showing about 3 m monthly uniques, which was almost the same as Blinks as it turns out. There had been a massive increase over a period of I month. I posted a link on here I think or on one of the other many threads, when I checked the results next Grab Media had disappeared and no longer existed.

[1gw] 18/1/2015 22:23

Agree in principle 53tom. Quantcast is only measuring what Burst Media want them to measure - and normally Burst Media would only want them to measure visits to sites which were part of active campaigns for which Burst Media or their clients want particular stats. At least that's my understanding from what's been posted here, mainly by shroder.

But in the absence of knowing any of those details, I view higher quantcast numbers as directionally "encouraging" and lower quantcast numbers as directionally "worrying", but still of much lesser importance than the ComScore numbers.

Yes, good to be back. Had a nice break in our bolthole at Woolacombe Bay.....can I just say that this little known secret in Devon..is the best beach in the Country, the Côte d'Azur minus a few degrees. Absolute paradise!

These threads are becoming highly toxic and the rags were getting so excited they were in danger of cerebrum melt down. I hate to see grown men cry, so we took a complete chillax!

Although I have not bothered to read many posts, it is obvious Loopy has broken his promise, what a sad person..with zero integrity.

The 4mil. was something I discussed at full length with a very reliable friend - it has not happened..it will happen! I am sorry it didn't happen when I was told..
but there are games being played here.

When the gloves are off, the real fighting will start.

[sikhthetech] 18/1/2015 20:08

Quantcast has always been for campaigns...
If you look at the AdKarma graph... they probably had a lot of campaigns on the go...The uniques peaked at around 6m in Nov and seem have dropped to around 2.5m...

The trend before blnx acquired AdKarma was up..
The trend since blnx 'acquired' AdKarma has been down...check the graph over the last 3months..

The recent Quantcast numbers for Burstmedia seem to be troubling some people on some of the forums.
Well I would suggest that they resist any tendency to panic as Quantcast numbers have been known to be of extremely questionable merit for quite some time.
It seems that most of our competitors prevent quantcast assessing their data - Criteo and Rocket fuel for instance so we cannot see how they compare. Not that it would really be a useful comparison anyway as I shall show.

Within the Blinkx group only Burstmedia and Adkarma are really shown as quantified.
As an excellent example of how quantcast data bears absolutely no relationship to a companies actual uniques, page views or revenue you just have to look at the Adkarma Network data on quantcast.
There is an assumption that revenues are in some way directly related to page views.
If you look at the Adkarma daily page view metrics on quantcast with the date period set to ‘All’ you will see the following:
• prior to mid-April 2013 they had 50 million page views a day and then these suddenly fall to almost nothing
• from mid-April 2013 to the end of April 2014 (ie. For just over a year!) the company seems to have virtually no page views (or uniques) with the quantcast data only showing between 1 million and 300 page views per day! You would think they had gone out of business during this period if you relied on the quantcast data!!
• after April 2014 they quite suddenly go back up to about 14 million page views a day.

Yet Adkarma achieved the following significant revenues and growth during these calendar years, according to press releases and RNS’s:
• 2012 revenues about $6.6m
• 2013 revenues $13.3m
• 2014 revenues exceed $20m

You would not expect those revenues based upon the graph of page views, as there is absolutely no correlation to page views. It is obvious on common sense alone that the yearlong drop in page views, to nearly zero, did not happen.

If you look at the area under the graph for each of the calendar years on the quantcast graph of page views, it roughly works out at the following:
• 20 units of area for 2012
• 17 units of area for 2013
• 10 units of area for 2014

However if you compare the revenues to the areas under the graph for each calendar year then the Quantcast data is seen to be totally the opposite of what should be happening to reflect Adkarma’s actual revenues – because if we assume the 2012 year revenues to be the baseline of 20 units, then we should see about 40 units of area under the graph for 2013 and about 60 units of area under the graph for 2014!

Put another way – if the page views were the same every day throughout a given year then the 2012 year should be a constant 20m per day, 2013 should be a constant 40m a day and 2014 should be a constant 60m a day.
That means that the Quantcast graph for the 2013 year is showing less than half the actual activity and the graph of the 2014 year is showing only about one sixth of the actual activity!!

So obviously Adkarma’s actual page views/ uniques and revenues cannot be considered to be even remotely represented by the quantcast data as shown on the quantcast site.

The above shows that:
• any sudden collapse in page views or uniques only shows a problem in quantcast collecting data and that significant data is missing.
• that the relative number of page views shown in any period are not necessarily comparable to other periods and cannot be considered representative.
• quantcast data appears to be absolutely worthless!!

The very fact that the Burst uniques and page views dropped off by 75% in a single day and is not varying very much, strongly indicates that the company has triggered some filter or is restricting access. Now this may be because Burst is busy doing important stuff on its site and has turned off any extraneous data flow to quantcast or whatever.

But one thing we can be sure of is that it does NOT mean that Burst has suddenly lost a lot of business, it just means that quantcast metrics are only as good as the data it is allowed or able to get from the site it is trying to quantify and that quantcast metrics are quite meaningless.

Thanks for the skinny on little brother, Geheimnis Senior. All rings true. See he's trying to make out it's aimed at club sandwich! Desperate or what? Bumhole! Lol
